An interesting article is on the Pride Foundation website concerning PFLAG Oregon Central Coast. http://www.pridefoundation.org/filling-in-gaps-in-services-for-lgbtq-people-along-the-oregon-central-coast/2014/11/ Our monthly PFLAG meeting on 2nd Wed, Nov. 12 at 6 pm at St. Stephen’s in Newport will be a panel of transgender people from Lincoln County. Please be there to support and encourage and recognize their courage. And remember that Nov. 20 is the International Transgender Day of Remembrance–help us spread the word about the rights and needs of our transgender family and friends. The membership form on the last page of our newsletter will give you all the info for beginning or renewing your membership–which helps us reach out to the community for support, education, and advocacy. We need your participation to keep this moving forward! Hope to see you at the PFLAG meeting on Nov. 12 or one of the social gatherings found on page 7 of the newsletter.
The 2014 October Newsletter can be found here.
The October 8th PFLAG meeting will be at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Hurbert and 9th, at 6:00 pm. At the meeting, an excellent short film which includes a variety of families who they learn that a child or young adult is LGBT will be shown and discussed at the October 8 PFLAG meeting.
The film shows families sharing their honest reactions to hearing that their child is gay with the intense emotions, fears, and questions that it raised. Interviews with psychologists, teachers, and clergy provide factual answers to parents’ most commonly asked questions, as well as concrete guidance to help parents keep their children healthy and safe during this challenging time.
PFLAG Oregon Central Coast focuses on the Coming Out process each October to raise awareness about the effects of living secretly or “in the closet” and the risks and benefits of “coming out” more publicly as sexual or gender minority. Copies of the article “Eighteen Things to Think About Before Coming Out” will be available at the meeting. Participants will be encouraged to share from their own experiences of living in and/or coming out of a LGBT closet—as a parent, family member, friend, or LGBT person.
